Sadly, the majority of the Kingston Blount Street Fayre committee have decided not to continue with the Fayre moving forwards. Some of us have been involved with it since it started 10 years ago and it is time to Sunday 1st December - 4.00pm Christingle Service followed by tea hand over the reins to a new team – if there is one! We did try to recruit new help for (no morning service) the 2018 Fayre but sadly there were no newcomers. Sunday 22nd December - 4.00pm Carol Service (no morning service) If anyone is interested in getting a team together, we are all happy to pass on all the Tuesday 24th December - 4.00pm Crib Service contacts and any tips that we have. Christmas Day - 10.00am Family Communion Service It would be a shame if it didn’t continue. It was revived in 2009 following the previous success of the annual May Fayre, as most of us had young children and really Please note that there will be no Christmas Eve Midnight Mass at Aston Rowant this wanted a fun community day. Maybe the next committee will have similar motives. I year, but you will be very welcome to join worshippers at either St Andrew’s, Chinnor think many children in our local villages have great memories of it since it began. or St Mary’s, Sydenham – both services at 11.30pm.

  • Coaching Days on the Oxford Road

    Coaching Days on the Oxford Road

    Coaching days on the Oxford Road Before the A40 was constructed, travellers from London to Oxford and Worcester came through Wheatley and details of royalty and others who did so have already been described. It is important to understand the differing routes which have run through Wheatley from 1593, with these being shown on Jack Turner’s excellent interpretation of the 1593 All Souls College map onto which he has added more recent features and names. Coming from London in 1593, the traveller crossed over Wheatley bridge (at the bottom of the map). Shortly afterwards, and whilst still in the parish of Holton, there was a choice of either turning left or continuing straight on. A ‘dry route’ avoided the brook along the valley through the village, by taking the left turn to Shotover and turning left again at the Cley Hill field. It is described on the 1593 map as the ‘waye leading from Wheatley bridge to Shotover’ and leads on into Oxford. The route which went straight on followed the line of the London Road (including the ‘bulge’, now Old London Road), turning left into what is now Church Road (merely a track at the time), and thence into, and across, Westfield towards Forest Hill, and on to Islip and Worcester. By the time that coaches were travelling from London to Oxford, they would have taken the left turn after the bridge which linked up with Roman Road, ignoring the Cley Hill turn, before becoming Crown Road, and thence Wheatley High Street, thus enabling the coaches to avoid the steep climb up Castle Hill.

    Tetsworth Housing Analysis

    TETSWORTH HOUSING ANALYSIS Evidence Report for Tetsworth Neighbourhood Plan January 2020 1 TETSWORTH HOUSING ANALYSIS 1. Purpose. The aim of this analysis is to document the evidence base which informs and underpins the Housing Policies contained in the Tetsworth Neighbourhood Plan. 2. Content. This report provides a comprehensive statement of the quantity, types and location of Tetsworth’s housing stock and its potential for future housing growth by addressing the following topics: Evolution of the Tetsworth village settlement. Post-war housing growth in Tetsworth. Tetsworth Demographics. Tetsworth Housing Baseline. South Oxfordshire District Council (SODC) housing policy for Smaller Villages. Oxfordshire Strategic Housing Market Assessment. Tetsworth Housing delivery and approvals since 2011 Census. Potential Housing Growth Projections. Tetsworth Housing Questionnaire analysis. Themes for Consideration in Tetsworth NP Housing Policies 3. Evolution of Tetsworth. The first evidence of a settlement at Tetsworth occurred in Norman times when a hamlet became established with dwellings clustered round the junction of the north-south and east-west roadways, now known as The Mount and High Street. 2 Tetsworth Village Settlement in 18th Century During the height of stage-coach travel, Tetsworth became an important staging point on the London to Oxford turnpike. This period of prosperity was accompanied by expansion of the village’s housing stock and footprint. However, Tetsworth’s raison d’etre and economic focus remained predominantly agricultural until comparatively recent times. A map of the village drawn at the end of the 19th century continued to show Tetsworth as a strongly nucleated settlement with the overall footprint and road pattern still recognizable today.

Introduction Neighbourhood planning 1. The Localism Act 2011 Part 6 Chapter 3 introduced neighbourhood planning, including provision for neighbourhood development plans.

If approved by a referendum and made by the local planning authority, such plans form part of the Development Plan for the neighbourhood concerned.
